However, unlike the battery saver, Energy Saver can be used even when plugged in, so that points to the fact that this feature would be helpful for users who want to bring down their power consumption for their desktops.
How does Energy Saver work
Energy Saver limits background app syncing turns off transparency effects, and other power mode settings. It also locks the user out of power mode settings so that the device is ensured to be working on its power-saving priorities. This feature is designed to be used when your laptop's battery charge is reduced to a specified low level or can be switched on manually.
Benefits of Energy Saver
Energy Saver offers several benefits over Battery Saver, including:
- Ability to use when plugged in
- More aggressive power conservation measures
- Ability to override power mode settings
